(54) | Relief valve assembly for accumulator type fuel injection nozzle |
(57) An improved relief valve element (53) for an accumulator type fuel injection nozzle
(11). The relief valve element (53) and relief valve seat (81) are formed with a substantially
greater effective sealing area (82) than the port (54) which is controlled. Pressure
relief passages (83, 84, 101, 102, 151, 152, 201, 202) extend through either the valve
element (53) or the valve seat (81) outwardly of the control port (54) so as to permit
fluid to flow therethrough upon the closure movement of the valve element (53) to
facilitate its movement and to assist in sealing. |
